The judge denied the request and the bond is set to remain at $1 million dollars.

Ray was appointed an alternate public defender due to a conflict of interest. A "no contact with minor children" condition was also added to her bond.

Bond has been set for a Council Bluffs man charged with human trafficking.

Branden Felt, 19, appeared in Sarpy County court Monday morning and had his bond set at $1 million.

Felt and two others are accused of trafficking a 15-year-old girl.

According to an affidavit, the victim told police that Felt and two others, Kylie Ray, 19, and Jesse Blum, 22, helped her with her “escorting.”

Investigators said the 15-year-old told them that she met men through ads on a website that Felt helped her create, then was directed where to go to have sex with them. She said Blum would line up the clients.

Court documents indicate that Bellevue police were alerted to the trafficking incidents in July, but the victim’s mother believes that the activity had been happening for two months.
